I was on about half time (if that) but conditions were not very
good for me.

Just don't enter them and everything will work itself out.

Another one of those rough edges from converting to TRMASTER...  I
will have to have the program look to see if there is a name before
using the call.

Perhaps the fix is to put NB into the .DOM file which is used for
the sprint.
